- I need to connect two SPARCprinters to an SS10 using 2 SBus cards. Is there
- any way I can move these printers away from the SS10. That is, I want to
- put the SS10 in a machine room out of harms way and have the printers in a
- lab 4 floors up. (~150-200 ft). If the SPARCprinters will hook to the
- Centronics port in the SBus printer card we can use a parallel=>serial
- converter on both ends. Is this possible? (Has anyone hook the SPARCprinter
- to a centronics port?) If not, is there a way to extend the proprietary
- port? Any help/insight would be very welcome. Unfortunately I don't have
- these machines yet, but I would like to get them up as soon as they get here.

- Thanks
